Star Wars for 30 Years

30 years ago today Star Wars appeared on the big screen for the first time and changed everything. We have seen all the movies (for better or worse) and we still want more. Now that all the prequels are finished, will there ever be more sequels? Will George Lucas decide to start where the Return of the Jedi left off? Even though all of our original "how did it all begin" questions have been answered with the prequels - we still don't know what happens to everyone else after Darth Vader and The Emperor are dead.

Link Collection 4

I collect links. I collect a lot of links. The links end up on scraps of paper, post it notes, legal pads, and various other surfaces around the house and office. These are links that I either intend to blog about or just want to research a little further. Some of the links are just collected as cool looking websites, without any regard to content. Some of the sites have a wonderful business model. Regardless of the reason for the collecting of the link by the time I get back to the links, I have forgotten the reason I collected it in the first place. Since I don't generally do much more with them than collect, I thought it would be best to just start posting them as a list of links that I can find later or someone else can blog about. More than likely, there won't be any more information about them than the link.

And there definitely is no real reason for listing them here other than those stated above. Technorati tag: links

Stupidity finally pays off

There is a market out there for stupid videos. Every time someone posts one on YouTube, there are a ton of people who view it and share it with their friends. The media picks up on some of these videos and then even more people view it. However, the people who made the video don't generally get any money for it. Now that is changing with a video sharing site called Revver. The explanation of all this is taken directly from their website: .. the viral video network that pays. We connect video makers and sharers with sponsors in a free and open marketplace that rewards them for doing what they do best. Hmmmm.. now I just have to figure out how to make a stupid video.
